Goalkeeping must be trained as a specialized position and given the attention and respect that warrants the results we want and expect. Goalkeeper training is not a matter of kicking the ball at somebody and hoping he or she stops it. It is a complex collection of specifically designed and trained techniques that are unique only to soccer goalkeepers. Additionally, within specific goalkeeper training there must be specific training for an individual goalkeeper. All goalkeepers are different people and athletes.
- Young goalkeepers cannot be allowed to just make the save. Correct and proper technique is vital to their future development and success.
- Goalkeeping specialization should not take place until after the age of ten years old.
- Individual and specialized training is an absolute requirement of becoming a quality goalkeeper.
- The goalkeeper should be the best overall athlete on the soccer team.
- An outstanding goalkeeper, more so than any other player, can make the difference to an outstanding team.

“I have known Dave for 20 years. He served as my soccer coach for many of these years and my friend for all of them. He provided me the knowledge, training and discipline needed to become a top goalkeeper. He instilled in me his own virtue of hard work and never giving up in achieving your goals. He encouraged me and assisted me in my dream of becoming a professional goalkeeper, an experience that I will forever treasure.

His skill and experience in training goalkeepers is second to none. Coach de Hart’s attention to minor details in a goalkeeper’s game is the difference that takes a goalkeeper from good to phenomenal.”
